Kelly Bagget and Alex Marako just launched a remarkable Vertical Jump program for athletes who want boost their vertical jump and become more explosive.

I actually haven’t had a chance to try this program yet, so there is not formal review. However, I thought I’d post this up since they’re offering a $20 discount during the launch phase.

Getting strong with a bodyweight program can be very simple. You just need to follow some very basic principles:

• Your body does not know how much weight is being lifted. You and your mind quantify the amount of weight by pounds or kilos. It’s a human-made system. Your muscles only understand one thing: stress.
• Hence, the more stress you place upon a muscle, the more that muscle will react. Whether or not the muscle grows stronger will depend on what you do after the workout.
• The only way you can get weaker is if you do not do anything to place greater stress on the muscle. This is why many endurance-type workouts often cause a decrease in strength.
• In order to increase strength through bodyweight training, a base level of fitness must be established. My opinion is that one should be able to perform 5pullups, 10 pushups, and 20 bodyweight squats before attempting any other strength goals.
• There are numerous training methods for improving strength through bodyweight training. However, the most important thing you must learn is how to make an exercise more difficult.
• Simple changes such as hand position, leverage, and sophistication can make a movement more difficult. These methods can also make a movement easier. For example, if you are unable to perform a fullpullup (palms facing away grip), you may find a chinup (palms facing you grip) much easier.
• Strength is an important component to all aspects of fitness. In order to increase lean muscle mass, you need strength. In order to lose fat, you must perform certain exercises. These exercise will also require a base level of strength.

Follow these tips and you will find yourself much bigger and stronger through bodyweight training. For more information on bodyweight training, check out Bodyweight Exercise Revolution.

When I first started this blog, I did not realize how popular bodyweight training would become. But more and more people are realizing the benefits of a bodyweight-only program.

If you’re a complete beginner to bodyweight training, then you’re probably completely confused as to where to start your bodyweight training. There are tons of guides, eBooks, and videos out there catering to the complete beginner.

One of the best guides out there for beginners is an eBook called Workout Without Weights. The author Coach Eddie Lomax has created concise bodyweight training manual for beginners, intermediates, and advanced trainees.

For complete beginners, you want to start off with the Basic Calisthenics, Lower Body, Trunk, and Upper Body movements. I actually made a list of all the exercises you will learn through this eBook.

The Benefits of Purchasing a Bodyweight Training Manual

Most people are sceptical when it comes to purchasing anything online, much less a bodyweight training eBook. One of the arguments is, “There are so many free workouts and sources out there. Why should I buy anything?”

Well, you’re right, there are so many free resources out there, including this very blog. I have lots of great free bodyweight workouts on this website. But here’s the thing: with every blog post, you’re only getting a snippet of the information.

There’s a distinct advantage to purchasing something that’s complete and concise then basically “operating blind” by “guessing” and creating your own workouts. Let someone else who’s been doing this for years teach you how to create effective workouts.

You’ll save so much time and you’ll get greater results in the long run.

When I first started training, I used to stay up all night, trying to get free information. I had so many questions, but very little of them were answered by all the free resources out there.

In fact, after a while, you get to see the same things over and over again. If free resources were so great, then why isn’t everyone that trains in great shape? The truth is that you’re getting something more when you pay for a product.

There’s also a mental aspect to it. When you pay for something, you care for it more. You’re going to “want to get your money’s worth.” So you’ll actually try it. There’s very few people out there who’ll shell out $50 for a product and completely ignore what it tells you to do.

So if you’re a complete beginner, then I suggest you check out buying Workout Without Weights. You’ll save yourself a lot of time and energy on pointless Google searches.

I’m addicted to bodyweight training. I think about working out 40 times a day and is one of the main reasons why I own a fitness blog. Here are 6 mistakes I’ve made (and still sometimes do) in the past. Please learn from them because they can make the difference between progress and stupidity:

1. I trained six times a week, and would have trained 7 times a week if I didn’t have to work on the weekends at my fathers store. I over trained like it was my job PLUS I under ate tremendously. I mean, I was actually AFRAID of FOOD!
2. Doing 500 hindu squats a day. Hindu squats are a great exercise, but just like most things in life, if you abuse Continue reading

It’s summer time. Two things happen during summer time with regards to your training: you either get really motivated and increase the intensity of your workouts.

Or, you just get really lazy, start partying with your buddies, and eat like crap. You start missing workouts, and before you know it, you’re in even worse shape than when you started out with.
